Secrets So Deep by Ginny Myers Sain
Jan. 22nd, 2023 09:20 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
At Whisper Cove,
what the sea wants,
the sea will have
When Avril was a child, her mother drowned at Whisper Cove. Local legend claims that the women in the waves called her into the ocean with their whispering.
Now Avril is seventeen and as she investigates what happened all those years ago, Whisper Cove reveals itself to her. Distances shift in the strange fog. Echoes of the past rebound from the ocean. And Avril is sure she’s met Cole - the gorgeous but disturbed boy she can’t seem to keep away from - late at night at the edge of the ocean.
The truth Avril seeks is ready to be discovered. But will come at a terrible cost.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Ginny Myers Sain’s paranormal YA thriller is a slow-paced affair populated with generic characters (with the exception of Avril) structured around a central play that simply didn’t convince me as being something so extraordinary as to be Tony Award winning. Worse, the twists (with one exception) are telegraphed too early and the paranormal elements too wishy-washy. It isn’t a bad book, but it did struggle to hold my attention.
SECRETS SO DEEP was released in the United Kingdom on 29th September 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
